reaction fire fix?

(1/6) > >>

I played this game 2 years ago, someone told me a new version is coming out. Awesome, better graphics, gameplay etc. But: reaction fire is broken - snipers are useless, have to use pistols???

Apparently there is a way to go back to the old reaction fire system:

Create a file called autoexec.cfg (which doesn't exist currently in my system) in UFOAI-2.3-dev\base\ then put the line 'set g_reaction_fair 0' in it.

Is that right, will it bring back the old system (which worked)? Doesn't have to be done before a compile or anything does it? Otherwise guess I'll have to delete and comeback in a while...

Mattn:
yes - this will activate the old reaction fire style

Great, thanks! Fantastic game btw

rileyk:
Could I ask is the spelling correct in this fix suggestion for reaction fire - 'set g_reaction_fair 0' ?

Thank You

Surely reaction fire isn't broken, not after waiting THIS long for 2.3...something that significant couldn't have been overlooked...you guys are just to careful. If so, sure hope there is an updated 2.3 with this mechanic fixed to work correctly. Anyhow, initial thoughts are 2.3 is a vast improvement in most aspects, however, what is up with countries loosing faith in you so quickly? The $ you get doesn't allow for FAST expansions, so for the first few months ( 2-5 ) your limited to having 1 base with aircraft abilities. I have been flying all over the world winning every terrorist action and shooting down every UFO I've seen, yet my countries attitudes funding me have gone from Pleased...to Neutral...are they that really THAT difficult to please, and don't allow you time to get up to speed? Especially with such LIMITED resources allotted to Phalanx...2.2 seemed to be a bit more forgiving...this seems a bit too BRUTAL an attitude towards the only defense program the earth has, since it's still in it's infancy at this point of the game. In terms of funds...is the earth THIS poor at this point in history, that they can't allow a few more credits per month to be allotted to the the only chance they have of surviving? I've seen more funds pushed by Gov's to crappy and unneeded useless programs, to research the lifestyle and breeding habits of some possibly endangered life-form, than what Phalanx receives for it's efforts to save the human species from being eradicated.  Anyhow, kudos to your continued efforts on this great game you Dev's keep working on, as a labor of love...many thanks guys!
